### 5/5 — The Best

*2025-10-29*

I’ve tried many screen time apps but nothing comes close to this one. 

Controlling access is way more powerful than controlling when to block.

**Developer response:** Thank you! That's what we think too ;)

### 5/5 — Insta Detox

*2025-10-28*

It’s great to avoid overusing Instagram.

**Developer response:** 100% - Instagram can be easy to overuse 😂

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

### 5/5 — Get your day back

*2025-10-26*

Put some rails on your life to help in your moments if weakness. This app is very thoughtfully created to actually help.

**Developer response:** Systems > Willpower. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Life-changing app!

*2025-10-25*

I’ve tried countless screen time apps before, but they all felt annoying or too strict. Unhookd is different - it actually helps without making you feel guilty. The reminders are gentle, and the insights make you realize just how much time you’re wasting without being preachy.

What I like most is how customizable it is. You can pick which apps to limit, schedule focus times, or set slots for when you just want a break. After about a week, I noticed my screen time dropped by over 30%, and I’ve been way more focused (and less zombie-scrolling before bed 😅).

I honestly love this app and I highly recommend anyone who’s trying to cut back on screen time to give it a try.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind and comprehensive review! So happy you're loving the app 😃

### 5/5 — amazing app

*2025-10-24*

i've been beta testing this app for a few weeks now and it's amazing! i've really lowered my social media use to ~10 minutes a day, some days are either 0 or less than 5 minutes!! give this app a try, it really does help with stopping doomscrolling ^^

**Developer response:** Wow, those are amazing numbers! Thank you for beta testing and believing in the project from Day 1.

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-10-23*

Great App! Makes me feel more in control of my time. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-10-22*

Unhookd has helped me focus more at work and stop picking up my phone as a distraction. I’m becoming more mindful about my social media use.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Looks like you've landed some major wins here 😃

### 5/5 — Really Works

*2025-10-22*

Easy to use and really works. My reddit usage is down a lot. The extra step it adds before opening social media apps really makes me pause and think. No more mindless doom scrolling! (Or hopefully much less lol). I can't recommend it enough.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Without any guardrails, it’s way too easy to spend hours on Reddit
